sheet of immensity Dad been spread out,
and written On IL were the stars, the
smaller OF them mining, the larger of

bsse clef, the wind among the trees Il
treble Clef. That is the way God made
all things, perfect harmony.
But one dsy hSrp-str1ng snapped in
the great orchestra. One day a voice
sounded out Of tune. 0de day a discord,
HARSH AND TERRIFIC,
grated upon the glorious antiphone. 1t
was sin that made the dissOnance, and
that harsh disCOrd has been sounding
through the centuries. All the work of
Christians, and philanthOpists, and re-
formers Of all ages is to stop thSt 0iscord
snt get al things back into the perfect
harmony which was heard ct the laying
OF the cornerstone, when the morning
stars sang together. Before l get
through, il l am diViaely helped, will
make il pain that Gin IL diEc0rd and
righteousness Is harmony.
That things in general Sre out Of tune

unhappy clash Of cl4riOnet and bassoon in
an orchestral rendering.
Tne worlds health out of tune: Weak

ordered eye and MONDAY light in quarrel,
rheumatic limb and damp weather in

1ne human intellect out of tune: The
